Come see my poster at #COSASurvivorship next week!

A lot of the time when we call something #codesign we are not meeting best practice, and it is up to everyone involved to ensure we work for better!

Working with #CancerConsumers isn't just important, it produces better quality work!
Shona and Dan of our Exec Team will be at #COSASurvivorship next week with posters!

Shona's poster in collaboration with Drew Meehan and others of Cancer Council Australia is titled "From consultation to collaboration: Strengthening #cancer policy through lived experiences."
